"Intersexion" by Grant Lahood

What if it’s neither? 1 in 2,000 babies is born with genitalia so ambiguous that the doctors cannot easily answer this question.

Intersexion sets out to de-mystify intersex, looking beyond the shame and secrecy that defines many intersex births. With interviews of intersex people in America, Ireland, Germany, South Africa and Australia, the film explores how these individuals navigate their way through childhood, adolescence, relationships and adulthood, when they don’t fit the binary model of a solely male and female world.

The Brussels based United Nations Regional Information Centre for Western Europe - UNRIC provides information on UN activities to the countries of the region. It also provides liaison with institutions of the European Union in the field of information. Its outreach activities extend to all segments of society and joint campaigns, projects and events are organized with partners including the EU, governments, the media, NGOs, schools and local authorities.
